Kim Jong-un makes outlandish claim about North Korea and Russia in birthday message to Putin

The more our beloved friend from the Democratic Korea understands what awaits him in the event of Russia’s defeat, the more sincerely he loves our leader and helps Vladimir in his Special Military Operation.

Looks like another Russian ammo depot has gone up in smoke.  No confirmation, but a sizable fire and the repeated sound of explosions would suggest it's the case.

 

Kursk is in the centre of the map, so no doubt much, if not all, of the ammo was planned to be used against Ukrainians taking part in their Russian incursion.

An interesting YouTube comment on the above video was that a 2016 US Army issued handbook stated:

 

"Russian forward ammunition dumps are quite possibly the most unsafe places in any warzone. By doctrine, there are very little storage requirements, no minimum safe areas, little munitions segregation, and many of the munitions are still from the Soviet period or early 1990s and about to expire."

 

So I looked it up.  Sure enough, it's on page 31 of the link below.  It also goes on to say:

 

"Fuel depots are no better. Poorly trained conscript logistics soldiers, combined with these poor storage procedures make these supply depots a tinderbox ready to explode. Russia has suffered several catastrophic supply depot fires and explosions in the past 2 years of combat in Ukraine and Syria. Priority targeting of these areas will cause a serious logistics strain on the Russian system and impact their ability to use maneuver and fires."

 

Looks like Ukraine has been doing some background reading. Or "someone" suggested these targets?

While I do not dispute what you say, even the Russians learn from their setbacks.

Expect the above to change in the near future, just like the Russians moved their aircraft beyond peril ( as seen in another thread on here ).

don't worry, peril will still come to them in the form of Ukrainian long range drones.

Slava Ukraini !
